Interactive Deposit Removal System for Vehicle Cameras
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing outdoor camera systems, such as vehicle-mounted cameras, face challenges in providing user engagement and excitement during the deposit removal process, as current methods are either too simplistic or lack interactive elements.
Innovation Solution
A deposit removal system that includes a camera, a display unit to show the camera's image, detection means to recognize user operations, and control means to execute deposit removal actions based on user interactions, allowing users to intuitively and interactively remove deposits by performing operations like tapping, sliding, or flicking on the image displayed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If automatic deposit removal is implemented, then deposit removal effectiveness is improved, but user engagement and excitement deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to perform deposit removal themselves through direct interaction with the display interface. Users can select deposits on the displayed image and initiate removal actions, transforming the automatic process into a self-service operation that maintains effectiveness while significantly improving user engagement and excitement.
2Ease of operation
If user interaction on displayed image is implemented, then user engagement is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display interface acts as an intermediary between the user and the physical deposit removal mechanism. Users interact with the visual representation of deposits on the screen rather than directly with the mechanical system. This intermediary layer simplifies the user interface while managing the complexity of coordinating multiple cameras, displays, and mechanical actuators through a unified control system.

AI summary
A deposit removal system includes a camera, display means that displays an image that is acquired by the camera, detection means that detects an operation of a user on the display means, deposit removal means that performs a removal action for removing a deposit that is attached to a lens of the camera, and control means that causes the deposit removal means to perform the removal action, based on the operation on an image detected by the detection means.
